Alan Wake: Beginner's tips

We recommend checking out a few stating tips to make the first contact with Alan Wake more pleasant. The tips will explain what the light is for or how to deal with enemies.

1. Collect everything. Any items you find - weapons, ammunition, or batteries - can be useful later in the game.
2. Flashlight is extremely useful. It allows you to defeat enemies, but also to search for traps and ammunition supplies. However, keep in mind that using the flashlight will drain the battery, require a replacement.
3. Light protects you from enemies. Being in the light makes enemies unable to attack the hero. You also regain health by standing under the glowing lanterns.
4. Sprint is limited. You can't sprint all the time. Remember that after a moment of fast running, the hero starts to move slower, making him an easy target.
5. Flares drive enemies away. Remember about this when you are surrounded by opponents. You can also use a rocket launcher or a flash grenade.

More tips can be found on the General tips page.
